Editorial Reviews

Review
A new set of common sense tools for professional growth. A must read for anyone starting or growing a business -- William P. Glynn, Vice Chairman, Pearl Street Group, Leading Venture Capital Firm --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Jay bought into his first business at age 32, acquired the rest of it over three years, for a total of $75,000, ran it for 14 years, and sold it to two of his managers for $500,000. After taking a couple of years off from "real" business to guide horse trips in Colorado, he started another business "on his kitchen table." This venture was initially capitalized at $3,000. He and his partners sold it 19 years later, for $60 million. That’s American Dollars, a big pile of them. In the process of starting and running these businesses, he did some things right and many things wrong. In this book he gives you the benefit of his years of acquired knowledge. Hopefully, you can learn from his adventures, adopt some of the good things and avoid having to learn everything the hard way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for any business owner!, August 6, 2004
By Michael Cowen (Scottsdale, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Want to start your own successful business? Buy this book! In fact, buy 2 copies! I've nearly worn out my first copy from regular use. From a self-assessment review, all the way through growing your business and eventually selling it. Everything you need to do it right the first time is here. This book is overflowing with practical details of what to do, and humorous examples of what NOT to do in business from someone who has been there every step of the way. You cannot afford to be without this resource in your business toolkit.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely a must read for new business owners., July 15, 2004
By Jack Kreamer (Griffin, Ga.) - See all my reviews
I have started several businesses and how I wish I had the opportunity to read Jay Hearst's book first. I think if the local business license group required this to be read before getting the license, there would be considerably less failures for new businesses. Just having knowledge of the prospective new business and a big ego will not get the job done. Not only does it contain "must have" information, it is easily read and understood. I commend Mr. Hearst for his service to the business community.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Nonsense Advice in Plain Language, November 30, 2003
By Robert Goldberg (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
For the beginning entrepreneur or seasoned business person this paperback will give you plenty to think about. The writer candidly describes his mistakes as well as his successes, which I found refreshing. He showed me the common pitfalls facing businesses from their beginnings to their maturities in an organized fashion. I believe that the book will be a resource for me to be kept within arms reach in the office.
